| Description |
The following Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertation examines the implementation of an evidence-based medical assistant training program for newly hired medical assistants. |
| Abstract |
Orientation training for medical assistants (MA) provides new employees with the necessary knowledge to meet the essential work requirements. The Utah Planned Parenthood affiliate hires medical assistants with varying patient care experience and training. Medical assistants receive exceptional training from many senior medical assistants, leading to considerable knowledge and skill differences. Variances in MA training can negatively impact confidence, competency, and skills leading to higher error rates. Consequently, MAs have a fluctuating understanding of the skills and knowledge needed for clinical support. |
